Strong's Lexicon qashab: To listen, to give heed, to pay attention Original Word: קָשַׁב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "qashab" is ἀκούω (akouo - Strong's G191), which also means to hear or listen. Usage: The Hebrew verb "qashab" primarily means to listen attentively or to give heed. It conveys the idea of focusing one's attention on something or someone, often with the intent to understand or obey. This term is frequently used in the context of listening to God's words, commands, or instructions, emphasizing the importance of not just hearing but actively engaging with what is being communicated. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, oral communication was a primary means of conveying important information, teachings, and divine instructions. Listening attentively was crucial for understanding and preserving the teachings of the Torah and the words of the prophets. The act of listening was not passive but involved a commitment to act upon what was heard. This cultural emphasis on attentive listening is reflected in the frequent biblical exhortations to "hear" or "listen" to God's word.
